I loved it. It has elements of philosophy, fairytale, family, history. I just couldn't put it down. It invloves fantasy while also being well rounded, smart and mysterious. It makes you think while also being fun and lighthearted, very easy to read.
سه و نیم.
کتاب یه جمله ی فوق العاده داشت که واقعا می خواستم متن رو با اون شروع کنم، ولی متاسفانه کتابو ندارم و هر چیز دیگه ای شبیه اون بنویسم احتمالا حق مطلب رو ادا نمی کنه.
این کتاب عالی عالی نبود. شاید عالی هم نبود حتی. ولی باید خوندنش. خود متن کتاب رو هر کس باید یه بار بخونه تا جوکر باشه. هر کس یه بار باید بخونه تا اگه شده، حتی چند ثانیه، توی کل عمرش فکر کنه، ما از کجا اومدیم، ما کی هستیم؟
دوستش داشتم، همین!
+ بخونیدش!

I reread this. And dare I say, I doubted my past self for choosing this book as my favorite book. Spoiler alert: this is still my favorite book.
I purposely avoided rereading this book for so long because I wanted to have the first experience of reading it again after i'd forgotten basically everything. And i'm so so grateful that I did that.
I'm probably not gonna do that again since i've decided that this is my favorite book. I will be rereading this whenever i need comfort, i need satisfaction, or I need to feel less alone and more valid. I wish I was exaggerating to make the review more interesting. But the amount of good feeling going through me right now, it's almost like I just drank from "sardia arxawaniaka"
I'm not sure if I understood everything the first time I read this book. But even now that it felt almost childish reading it because I knew the spoilers and I knew the things that were coming, I still feel like I don't understand parts of it. What makes a book my favorite? I like complicated things. I like not understanding things. I like having the fiction outsmart me (which is not that hard lets be honest). This book felt easy to me, but I think that's because Jostein Gaarder is like a third parent to me. I grew up with his books. I was reading about philosophy before I found out philosophy was. And now, coming back to one of his books after years, i feel more mature. And it's all thanks to him.
I love the philosophy in this book. I like the fantasy in this book. I like Gaarder's brain in connecting everything together and putting so much thought into it. I love how simple it is to understand. It tells you a simple story to make you think of more complicated things. I'll keep this book in my heart. I won't forget the characters. I won't forget the message. I'll keep trying my best to stay the joker of my surroundings.
I have so many highlighted sentences in the book that I can't think of a single one to write like I did with my hp4 review
Anyways
Truth is a lonely thing.
5 stars :)

It was one of my favorite books I read as a teenager. Reading it two decades later I think it’s only nostalgia that makes me still like this book.
Me pasa algo con Gaarder. El principio de sus libros siempre me encanta, pero a medida que llegamos al final me desilusiona.
Second time reading this
Still love it

Kako vam se čini ovo:
- protagonista je dete (sa jednim odsutnim roditeljem) koje čita knjigu; knjiga, pak, na veoma misteriozan način prati događaje iz detetovog života u stvarnom svetu, pri čemu se izmaštani svet iz knjige i stvaran svet počinju pretapati jedan u drugi;
- “ko si ti?” i “kako je nastao svet?” su pitanja koja predstavljaju osnov odnosa između deteta i njegovog Učitelja;
- Veliki Mađioničar koji vadi svet iz šešira svemira;
- opsednutost Atinom i antičkom Grčkom kao kolevkom filozofije...
Ne, nije u pitanju "Sofijin svet", ali je sličnost i više nego zapanjujuća, kada se stvari ovako taksativno nabroje. Iako je ova knjiga lepa i odličan prozor u piščev svet, u njegove poglede na život i to kako shvata čoveka i njegovo mesto i postojanje na ovoj planeti, poprilično je redundantna za svakoga koje već pročitao narečeni "Sofijin svet", gde smo se već upoznali s Gorderovim stavovima. Ako niste ispratili Sofijine avanture, ovo će vam biti interesantno, ukoliko vas zanima fantazija s daškom filozofije.
Takođe, knjiga je, očigledno, namenjena mlađim čitaocima, stoga je i pomalo nezanimljiva nama matorcima sa dužim stažom interesovanja za to ko smo i odakle dolazimo. Stoga - dve zvezdice. It was ok. But nothing more than that.
